Jeff,
Did your truck ever make it into the magazine? If so, which one, which issue... I'm still gonna get you to autograph it for me some day...

Blessings,

I think we're all nuts for not going down there with you! Heck, I think 1 day this year it's been above 60F, and not cloudy, windy, raining, or snowing.

Steve, it should be in the event coverage of the True Blue Trucks Fall Festival. Not sure when the article will come out, maybe next issue.

Same here, and more for the rest of the summer

Even with the record high temps in OK, I am glad you are getting out with your truck and camper and enjoying them.

Did you save the ac unit from the Benz to put in your truck too?
